IBM - 39Y9190 - IBM BladeCenter SAS expansion card (CFFv)

The IBM 39Y9190 is a BladeCenter SAS expansion card (CFFv) designed to extend SAS connectivity inside supported IBM BladeCenter blade server environments. It provides an internal expansion path for attaching SAS-capable storage or SAS expansion options, helping you scale disk connectivity while keeping the blade infrastructure compact and serviceable.

For complete platform planning, you can align this card with your wider IBM blade and data center ecosystem, including complementary connectivity components such as NETWORK MODULE options and upstream SWITCH infrastructure. In mixed environments, it may also be sourced alongside related expansion hardware in the PCI CARD category.

Key Features

Below are the main technical highlights and deployment-oriented features of the IBM 39Y9190 SAS expansion card (CFFv) for BladeCenter platforms.

• CFFv form factor expansion card design to integrate into supported IBM BladeCenter blade server I/O architecture without external cabling complexity.
• SAS expansion functionality to increase internal SAS connectivity for blade storage attachment and scalable disk configurations.
• Compatibility with IBM BladeCenter blade server families that support CFFv I/O expansion to extend the lifecycle of existing chassis deployments.
• Designed for use in IBM BladeCenter environments such as HS-series blades (example: BladeCenter HS22/HS23 family, where supported) to add SAS connectivity options within the blade.
• Supports SAS-based storage expansion scenarios to help build or maintain RAID-capable configurations when used with the appropriate server/storage controllers.
• Datacenter-oriented component design to support 24/7 operation in chassis-based compute environments with controlled airflow and service procedures.
• Ideal for maintenance and spares strategies to restore or standardise SAS expansion capabilities across installed BladeCenter fleets.
• Hardware-level integration for consistent cabling and serviceability to reduce time spent on blade swaps and component replacement workflows.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This unit is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished expansion components are a practical way to keep established BladeCenter environments running, extend platform lifecycle, and reduce electronic waste while controlling budget compared to buying new.

All products from Direct Hardware Supply include a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request, and we ship worldwide from Denmark for fast, reliable B2B sourcing.
